The world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism, a notorious human rights abuser that executes drug offenders and homosexuals, and a fanatical religious death cult bent on the obliteration of Israel and the United States, has been brought to its knees.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” President Donald Trump posted Saturday night. “All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
The bold and flawlessly executed strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities eliminated an intolerable global threat — and all without losing a single American soldier or killing a single innocent Iranian civilian. Tehran was given every opportunity to avoid this outcome, yet it persisted in developing a weapon that could fulfill its decadeslong threat to commit a second Holocaust.
US HAS ‘COMPLETED’ BOMBING OF IRANIAN NUCLEAR SITES, TRUMP SAYS
Trump, unlike his two Democratic predecessors, took this threat seriously, not only because of the moral imperative of defending Israel from annihilation but also because a nuclear Iran would harm American interests in myriad ways. It would threaten regional stability and trigger an arms race, would raise the risk of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of dangerous non-state actors, and would diminish America’s credibility as an enforcer of nonproliferation worldwide, further eroding its deterrence following the disastrous Biden years.
But tonight, the world and the U.S. can now breathe a collective sigh of relief, knowing that a tyrannical regime’s most dangerous ambitions have been neutralized through swift and precise intervention. The world is a far safer place tonight than it was this morning.
YES, IRAN WAS ON THE VERGE OF OBTAINING NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Once again, the ball is in Tehran’s court. Trump’s strikes were devastating but limited. They did not touch Iranian oil refineries, the lifeblood of the Iranian economy, and they did not target Iran’s remaining leaders. Additional damage can still be done. It is up to Iran to make peace from here. Should it choose not to make peace, it can now be assured that Trump will not hesitate to punish the country for its intransigence.
Let tonight be a stark warning to all who contemplate threatening the peace and security of the free world: Such threats will not stand. America will defend the free world from aggression. Trump demonstrated this plainly tonight.
